@devilsTear As a stamsorc, you only have 3 options on what you are allowed to run.
1)Duel wield and sword and board. Not sure exactly how that is setup, but you cannot just run around with 2h/dw or dw/bow. Sword and board has a gap closer, you can however use silver leash, but I hate this ability because it doesn't even work. It says, hit it once to activate it, then hit it a second to to gap close. Most unreliable ability in this game by far, and I used to think that cloak was the most unreliable.
2)2h/bow. You have a gap closer, a finisher, and a CC with this setup. Dodge rolling with bow is good for escape along with hurricane and streak.
3)Last but not least, you can use 2h/sword and board. You can either run Wrobles revenge for DPS on sword and board (no other option besides Wrobles Revenge for sword and board DPS. Or you can use 2h for DPS, and sword and board to hold block while spamming heals. You won't be permanently blocking like some people think of, but rather just using block to mitigate damage to make heals even more effective.

I DW/DW on my Stam sorc...no gap closer. I use Quick Cloak + Hurricane for both Major and Minor Expedition and I can catch damn near anyone. It's a blast!

I'm keen to s&b for a damage bar, I enjoy la/ransack/bash combo, I hate wrecking blow for obvious reasons haha.
What's wrobels revenge s&b? Kinda confused there lol

Why knights errands and not just ravager/veiled heritance or 7th legion? It only adds 200 wd to s&b while there aforementioned sets increase all wd. I've been meaning to farm it but it's hard to find people who want to run the dungeon lol

I've been trying to figure out a good pve and pvp set up for a stam sorc. I know redguard or orc is best. So far I've farmed

Troll King, viper, ravager, selene. I just can't figure out what to run on my stam sorc lol

Knights errant synergises with crit surge very well, even better if you have a masters sword, almost 3k heal in pvp non crit per sec per puncture = wtf?
Stronger than a vigor tick

Redguard is the best, I went Orc, love Orc Sorc.
PVE I use 5 twice born + 5 red mountain + 2 leki daggers (don't have sharpened maelstrom daggers) and maelstrom bow, don't use vigor coz it's not needed for pve.

It's a preference thing, some people like velidreth or stormfist I like red mountain. I'm 100% sure red mountain is more damage than velidreth coz of the cool down. Vicious ophidian is BiS but I just dark deal and use crit pots and speed pots

There was a really good dual wield and bow Stam sorc build going around for a little while with fasallas and double proc sets. It's probably the hardest build I've ever had to fight. You make one mistake against that build and you just instantly melt

I have a fasallas set but I was thinking about slapping it on my stamDK, you think it suits a stamsorc more?
